patchwork horse (vibrant colors)

April 4, 2007

Dscn0001_1_2

I finished this patchwork horse today. I made him for a fundraising auction that will be held at the end of April at my synagogue.  His body is a patchwork of fabrics with vibrant colors and blacks and whites.  Nothing vintage.  His legs, main and tail are white linen.  Here is the other side.

These guys are incredibly sturdy and they have a nice heft.  I am really satisfied with this design.

    Perfect and lovely in so many ways – but man, my heart was captured by the elephants. LOVED the elephants!
